Congratulations to the 23rd Citizen’s Police Academy graduates. Citizen’s Police Academy participants attended Thursday evening classes for the past ten weeks learning about various topics such as recruitment & training, traffic enforcement, use of force, criminal investigations and firearms safety & familiarization. Participants also completed a patrol ride-a-long and had opportunities to tour the DeKalb County Jail and Medical Examiner’s Office.
“Fall 2015 Citizen’s Police Academy Class”
On behalf of Decatur Police Department staff, we would like to thank every participant, and the families who supported their time away from home, for their investment in learning about the police department, for getting to know and developing relationships with the officers and fellow classmates and for their support of the Decatur Community.
The class experience with Decatur Police Dept (DPD)was excellent. These 10 weeks increased my appreciation for the police’s professionalism, commitment to community policing and the difficult job each of these officers experience on a daily basis. I love living in Decatur and will support the DPD in every way possible. Thanks so much Lt Jennifer Ross for your excellent program.
